Isa B doesn't like the doctor

Well, actually she liked the pediatrician just fine, but the techs who gave her the shots and then did the blood draw weren't her favorite people. The doctor's appointment was last week and Isa B got a clean bill of health at this point. Developmentally on target and up to 16lbs, 7oz!! That means she's gained at least 2 pounds since coming home.

Unfortunately, the trauma of the visit and the effects of the shots meant she was very out-of-sorts for the last week. Gone was my good little sleeper and happy baby. Granted, fussy Isa is still a pretty good baby all told. But, we had finally gotten a fairly consistent routine down and it went completely out the window.

Isa B started solid foods right before her doctor visit. She pretty much refused to open her mouth for the rice cereal. The pediatrician said I could try oatmeal and she tolerated that a little better. I finally decided to try sweet potatoes last night. Well, I couldn't shovel it in fast enough! Apparently my girl doesn't dislike solids, she just dislikes baby cereal.

Mmmmmm..... tasty. And now for the movie version. Please forgive the odd angle and my hands constantly in the way- I had to set up the camera on the table since both hands are required for her dinner!

Oh- and to answer Mary's question from the last comment section-- of course she has socks and barrettes to match every outfit! And Grandma has already been hard at work at the sewing machine.....

About Me

I'm a single mama to a busy preschooler. Life got a little too harried and we started relying heavily on prepackaged and convience foods. We were surviving and not really living. I decided we needed a radical change to get back on track. Follow along as I stumble through a year of going homemade.
